I think I'm on the sidelines this week. Last Monday, I felt like I tweaked my left knee fencing and I iced it and ignored it. I did Pilates on Tuesday and fenced again on Wednesday. Thursday, I did yoga, but almost couldn't walk when I got home. Friday, iced and elevated and it got worse over the weekend.
Called my orthopedic surgeon. Right now, its in a neoprene compression wrap and elevated. Waiting to hear if they want me to have an MRI before I come in. I think its either the MCL or patellar tendon. So, no workouts for me this week.
Hope you all have a great week.

Proud to say I raced the 5 and 10k on Saturday and the 21k today and the weather was not great but i did it and finished real strong. No complaining. Not even about the rain. I just thought well it could be worse it could be thunderstorms which they were calling for but held off.
Monday walking from client to client long day will get lots of walking in
Tue strength training and a very light run
Wed master swim
Thursday core muscle work out
Friday just walking and painting
saturday and sunday will be painting part of my apartment. hope climbing up and down a ladder counts

My hubby is doing an 8k this weekend. He wanted to do an ugly sweater run this year, but it conflicted with another race he had already signed up for. Have fun putting together a santa suit to run in!

I sometimes struggle with staying motivated as well. Earlier this year I signed up for six different 5K events so I had them on my calendar as a reminder to workout and train. I keep a pair of sneakers at my desk so I can go for a walk during lunch or between meetings instead of sitting all day. I'm generally successful with this 2-3 times per week as sometimes with back to back meetings it just doesn't work.
Back in September, I took a workshop called, Relieving Stress: Self-Care for Busy People. It was taught by my daughter, Vanessa, who has been an allied health professional for many years. I learned a lot in those 90-minutes and have been able to implement some of her suggestions. I particularly found the breathing exercises beneficial. Being able to calm my mind and focus has helped me to stay motivated not only in my wellness journey but overall.
